KUWAIT CITY, Mach 22: Hawally detectives have been assigned to apprehend an unidentified individual who posed as a security officer and robbed an expatriate near a well-known mall on Tunis Street in the Hawally district. The suspect is also accused of stealing a four-wheel drive vehicle parked in front of a building in Hawally Block 5. Two cases have been registered: one classified as a felony under the charge of "impersonating a security officer and theft," and the other as a misdemeanor related to vehicle theft.

According to a security source, an expatriate born in 1985 reported that while walking in the Hawally area last Tuesday, he was approached by an unknown individual dressed in Arab attire. The suspect, driving a black four-wheel drive vehicle, claimed to be a detective and requested to see the expatriate’s identification to verify his residency status. As the victim retrieved his wallet to present his civil ID, the suspect snatched the wallet and fled the scene.

The victim stated that the wallet contained 140 Kuwaiti dinars and a bank card. He described the suspect as having a light beard, a slim build, and speaking in a local Kuwaiti dialect. Due to the suspect’s rapid escape, the victim was unable to capture the vehicle's license plate.
